The Starlight Celebration is Almost Here! (12/14/2006)

Master, Master!
The Starlight Celebration is here again, kupo!

http://www.playonline.com/pcd/topics...137/1137_0.jpg

The lights! The sweets! The presents!
Just thinking about the fun keeps me awake all night, kupo!

............Ummm...
......Hrmmm............
Alright, you got me! I just can't keep a secret away from my favorite adventurer...

As you already know, the Starlight Celebration will begin in a few days. But what you don't know is that we Moogles are in a pickle, kupo. The trees that we had made for this year's festivities have vanished from Windurst! And what's worse, a terrifying treant has suddenly shown up at the Dhalmel Farm and is wreaking havoc on the locals, kupo!

Come to think of it, I haven't heard from my brothers and sisters working in Bastok and San d'Oria. What if there are crazy trees running amok in their towns as well...?

Wait a minute... Treants in the towns...?
Didn't something like this happen a few years ago? There was some kind of freak accident at the Rhinostery in Windurst, right? If this is the same thing, we're in biiig trouble!

Anyway, as long as these freaks of nature are trouncing about our towns, everybody will be too scared to come out and take part in the Starlight Celebration's festivities, kupo! Even the smilebringers have said that they won't pass out their presents until they're sure the children will be safe.

Ah, what to do? What to do!?
The treant won't go away, kupo!

Well, I guess it has come down to this...
My colleagues and I must take up arms to protect the city from fear!
Oh, don't worry. We'll do all the work. But, we sure could use a cheer or two from our humble masters, kupo!

???

What does this look like?

[Epical]

Generally I hate SE events and never participate in them, but Christmas is the only exception. I love this time of year so much. =D

[Cesaria]

Taru looks shocked and horrified - I'm guessing someone hid his present at the top of the pile

They'd better not repeat the dream robe crappy quest from last year - that thing was awful to do.

[SassiAsura]

Maybe the moogles will do moogle dance and hit the treants for like a gabazillion damage. :O

I'm not sure if that translates into "nothing that you want to see Septimus" or "you really need to get cracking on some Galka dat swaps Septimus".

[Tena]

Does this mean the return of the old-school Twinkling Treant?!

Oooohhh....that was so fun staying up till 3am after 6 hours of fighting just to see it die.

Edit: Anyone else look at the treant and the mithra and automatically think of Evildead?
